Quality teacher training has been at the heart of AIL’s education program since the beginning. In 2018, 766 teachers (436 female) received training. AIL provides high quality teacher training education in modern, interactive, student centered teaching methodologies. In the past year, 396 teachers benefited from this teaching training. Other teachers attended various workshops and conferences and learned about a variety of subjects including, leadership, good governance, good citizenship, reproductive health and violence against women. They share this information with their students enriching their understanding and capacity.
"My name is Moshtari. I graduated from the English Department of the Education University. I used to teach English to the female classes in the high school. Last year, the principal of my school asked me to teach grade one of the male primary level. I had no idea of how difficult it would be. I applied the methods I used in the high school but I did not achieve the desired results as I could not control the class well. They did not concentrate on the lesson and were noisy. I started to hate my class because I felt that the students did not like me that is why they did not learn my lessons.
Fortunately, I got the chance to participate this seminar. First I thought that this seminar would be the same of other seminars but found out I was wrong. The facilitator explained psychology and how this topic related to our class situation.Each each age group of students has its own characteristics and features and their own needs. We should teach according to the age group to help them improve. The facilitator mentioned psychological books for the primary level. I downloaded two of them and started to learn about the physical and mental characteristics of my children.
Now I am waiting eagerly to restart my teaching after off days. I feel strongly that I can bring positive changes as I know my students better than before. I am able to make my students interested in class by applying games and group work.”
